"Sassy ......"

It seems that the breeze disturbs the branches and leaves in the distance outside the house, and the sound of rustling follows the breeze through the void, and the door of the hall that shakes slightly,

In the hall, the incandescent lamp on the top swayed brightly, and a few flying insects surrounded the lamp, reflecting some shadows on the wall and floor, and the shadows passed by from time to time, as if the lights were shaking.

At the table, the middle-aged man supported his head with one hand, his eyelids were already closed, and his head was nodded down from time to time, dozing off.

On the table in front of him, the tea in the paper cup was still steaming, rising to the incandescent lamp on the roof.

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge turned his gaze again, looked through the door of the hidden hall, looked outside the hall, and looked at the backyard through the passage to the backyard.

The light in the hall shone through the gap in the door of the hall and the window on the door, and reflected in the courtyard in front of the hall, on the wall of the passage to the backyard.

The paper money that had not yet been swept in the courtyard rolled up with the breeze from time to time, swept past the light in the hall from time to time, and then fell.

In the backyard, the chickens and ducks that had been chirping from time to time seemed to have rested, and it took a long time to hear the movement of chickens and ducks.

Inside and outside the house, in front of the courtyard and behind the courtyard, the night is getting deeper and quieter.

......

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the few rooms next to the hall again,

The room that had been cleaned up for him was still open and the lights were on.

In the bedroom that the middle-aged woman walked in before, the door was closed, and the light through the crack in the door had been extinguished, and it seemed to be resting.

The old lady's bedroom, the door was closed, the room was quiet, and the gap under the door was dim, and it seemed that she had fallen asleep.

Looking at the closed bedroom door, he stopped his gaze, and Lian Ge turned his gaze back,

looked at the middle-aged man at the table, the middle-aged man supported his head with his hands, the frequency of his head pointing down had gradually decreased, and his eyes were closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge picked up the teacup and looked out of the house,

“...... Knock knock, knock knock. ”

Holding the teacup, Lian Ge took a sip of tea, and at the same time stretched out his other hand and tapped lightly on the table.

The middle-aged man, who was dozing off with his head in his hands, seemed to be startled by the sudden sound.

The hand was planted to the side, the head was knocked to the ground, and then the eyes were opened, and suddenly he woke up, and sat up straight on the stool again.

“...... Am I asleep?"

Sitting on a stool with his elbows propped up on the table, the middle-aged man rubbed his face and seemed much more sober.

“...... Whew, I almost overslept on this. ”

Putting down his hand, the middle-aged man hurriedly picked up the mobile phone on the table and looked at it, and took a deep breath,

“...... You haven't slept yet, young man. ”

Putting down the phone again, the middle-aged man stood up, turned his head to look at Lian Ge, talked, took a stool again, and sat down by the door of the hall.

"Young man, sit down next to you, I'll open the door of the hall a little more, blow the wind, and wake up. ”

"Please take care of yourself. ”

Holding the cup of tea, looking outside the hall, and without turning his head, Lian Ge said in a calm tone.

The middle-aged man heard the sound and opened the door of the hall a little more.

Outside the house with a chilly breeze blowing into the house, the lights in the house reflected in the yard,

“...... Whew......"

It seemed that the chilly breeze made the middle-aged man feel less sleepy, and then rubbed his face, and the middle-aged man exhaled,

“...... I've been busy with my dad's funeral for the past few days, and several people haven't slept much, and as soon as the funeral is over, I sit down and can't stop dozing off as soon as I dip the stool......"

Sitting by the door, the middle-aged man said, and looked at the old lady's bedroom again.

Lian Ge took the cup of tea, took a sip, looked out of the house, and didn't turn his gaze, just listened quietly.

“...... Gurgling ......"

At this moment, the middle-aged man's abdomen made some rolling sounds,

“...... Hey, I'm dozing off and hungry. ”

The middle-aged man lowered his head, looked at his stomach, and said with a smile,

I took out my phone again, looked at the time, and got up from the stool.

“...... Young man, there should still be some glutinous rice balls left in the pot at night, so I'll go to the hot spot here to pad my stomach, otherwise this night will be a little unbearable. Would you like to eat some of the same, young man?"

Turning his head, the middle-aged man looked at Lian Ge and asked aloud,

“...... Thank you. ”

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge thanked him,

“...... You're welcome, just wash the dishes...... Besides, I have to thank you, young man, if you hadn't been talking to me here, I wouldn't have known how long it would have been since I dozed off. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, said a word, and walked towards the kitchen.

Watching the middle-aged man walk into the kitchen, Lian Ge turned his gaze again and looked at the closed bedroom door,

Retracting his gaze, he looked out of the door of the hall that was a little more open, drank tea, and didn't say much.

......

“...... Come, lad, give. ”

Holding two bowls of steaming rice balls and a piece of brown sugar in a small plastic bag, the middle-aged man walked out of the kitchen again.

After handing a bowl of rice balls to Lian Ge and putting another bowl on the table, while spreading out the small plastic bag, the middle-aged man looked out of the hall that was blown more and more open by the breeze.

“...... My eldest brother said he was coming over before, but it's been so long, and I don't know where I'm going. ”

After saying that, the middle-aged man turned his head again, went to the door of the hall, and brought the stool again.

Stretched out his hand to take the bowl of rice balls, Lian Ge heard the sound, but he didn't respond.

“...... When it was hot, the rice balls were a little soft...... If you don't think the soup is sweet enough, you can add some brown sugar. ”

The middle-aged man took the stool, sat back at the table, took a spoon, pulled a piece of brown sugar from the small plastic bag, put it in the bowl, and talked to Lian Ge.

“...... There are a few brothers and sisters in us, and the taste of eating this glutinous rice ball is different, and when I was young, I asked what it tasted like, and I couldn't wait to fight......"

With a smile on his face, the middle-aged man said,

“...... My taste is with my mother, and I like to eat brown sugar......"

“...... Every time I made dumplings, my mother said that a few children's flavors came in turn. As for my dad, every time he thinks my mom likes to eat brown sugar, he will buy my mom an extra piece of brown sugar......"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man turned his head again, looked at the bedroom where his mother was, looked at the traces left by the pile of paper money and ashes in the room, and fell silent again.

"There are still some rice balls in the pot, don't you give the old lady a bowl to eat?"

Holding the bowl of rice balls, he tasted it again, and he didn't turn his head, Lian Ge said in a calm tone,

“...... Oh my mother...... I haven't slept much in the past two days, so I should be asleep now, so I won't wake her up, if she wants to eat, just cook it for her tomorrow morning. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man turned his head, looked at the bedroom where his mother was, smiled, and responded.

"The elderly sleep less, sleep lightly, ask. ”

Without turning his gaze and looking out of the house, Lian Ge said in a calm tone, and then said aloud,

Hearing this, the middle-aged man showed some hesitation on his face, looked at the bedroom where his mother was, put down the spoon in his hand, stood up, and walked towards the bedroom door.

Turning his gaze, Lian Ge looked at the closed bedroom door again, and the middle-aged man who walked to the bedroom door didn't say much,

Turning his gaze back.

“...... Knock knock ......"

Walking to the bedroom door, the middle-aged man knocked lightly,

“...... Mom, I've got some hot dumplings, do you want to eat some?"

Softly, the middle-aged man leaned over to the bedroom door and asked in the bedroom where the door was closed.
